If the car is old and rusty enough that’s not entirely wrong. My dad has a truck right now that he’s just driving until the next major breakdown; after that it’s going to the glue factory getting sold off as scrap.
I’m gonna have kids just so I can make sure to raise them on the correct media diet. They’re getting all the classic video game consoles, in order of generation, so when they get to something like Elden Ring they have the context all the way back to Space Invaders to appreciate it. And we’re going to be a home of physical media, god damn it. We’re not streaming things. We’re putting CD’s and vinyls and blu rays in their respective players. No iPads. Only books, comics, coloring books and notebooks.
How the fuck did parents start giving their kids iPads, anyway? Nintendo Switches? My first Gameboy cost $90 and I bought it with my own birthday money. A children’s book from a young reader series cost $6 new in the 90s and is probably not much worse now. Less, if you buy it used, which is much easier now. And people are just like, “here, my 12 year old child, have an Xbox Series whatever, and an iPad, and a Galaxy phone. They’re all pre-connected to your YouTube account. Don’t let your other parent know that I told you that for Christmas we’re getting you a gaming PC, Logitech C920, condenser microphone, wireless headset, gaming chair, scissor arm, and LED lighting array so you can chase the completely impossible dream of being a professional streamer. Can I kiss your feet while I’m at it? Will that make this a good half-birthday for you?” Unfuckingthinkable. Knock it off.
I remember using a service like that in the late 90s/early 00s and the way to get around having the ads shown on the page was to rename the .html file to .jpeg.
Not a movie, exactly, but we had the VHS of the extended version of Michael Jackson’s Thriller and the making of the video. It was over an hour long. And amazing.
Those are the Girl Scout version of The Cub Scouts. I know they have Daisy scouts when we had Tiger Cubs, but I don’t know their advancement. Basically you’re in 7th or 8th grade before you are a Boy/Girl Scout, and internally we only really considered Life Scouts (mostly juniors), and Eagle Scouts (mostly seniors) to be full Boy Scouts. I’m not sure if that extends to the GSA.
Apparently they don’t have as many ranks as the BSA.
I can’t recall my family having obscure movies. Don’t remember what it’s actually about, but I at least remember we had one Home On The Range VHS. Don’t recall ever watching it once, but this post made it come to the forefront of my memory
